Connectivism

I just found this video about student learning in connectivism. It simplifies things. The video also explains the role of the teacher.

The video was short and sweet and very informative. I liked the way the pictures were used and how it was removed and replaced with new words and pictures. I also found a site where an English teacher had a text page that students can read from and answer questions from without photocoping any pages. I thought, neat! It still amazes of how many tools are out there for us to use. Thanks for sharing the video.

The role of the educator as a learning architect really operates in the post-modernist paradigm. This role would not be a simple one. The knowledge requirement of the technology alone would be overwhelming. Perhaps teacher colleges will need to offer technology courses as major part of the degree.

I appreciate the video and the clear description it gives of the skills students will need in the twenty first century. I think our school board has a long way to go before they would feel comfortable with the role of the twenty first century teacher. I have difficulty understanding how some students will fit into the theory of connectivism, but I am developing a plan to include everyone such as people with disabilities who do not read and have limited speech abilities. Thanks Pam

Good Vid. What I especially found informative is the concept of using I-tunes to connect with university professors from around the world. This is something that I myself am going to research. I wonder if I can find lectures that relate to my research project.
